A white dove fluttered its wings, from far and near, and landed on the pigeon tower very quickly.

The pigeon keeper came to listen to the cooing pigeon, and his eyes were full of pity, and he reached out to catch the pigeon. First look at the rings on the pigeon's feet, which are numbered.

"It's the batch that was brought to Chang'an."

The pigeon keeper whispered and removed the bamboo tube from the pigeon's feet. I turned around and took a handful of elaborate pigeon feed and put it in the pigeon cage.

The pigeons have been flying for a long time and are already tired and hungry, but they are well trained and do not eat on the way, and as soon as they are released, they return to the nest immediately. These pigeons fly very fast and over great distances. They can travel thousands of miles in a day and night, but they can only go one way.

This pigeon flew back from Chang'an, which was raised and trained in the pigeon building on the land of Longyou Cheng Biting Jin, and the Cheng family would regularly transport the pigeon to Chang'an, Liangzhou and other surrounding places. Every time a letter comes from there, the pigeon from this side is released. When the letter was received, the pigeons were sent again.

Although this is a bit of a hassle, the great thing about the pigeon letter is that the information is transmitted very quickly and is not easy to intercept.

After feeding the pigeons, the letter was quickly delivered to Cheng Yanjin.

In March, it was still very cold.

It is said that it is Longyou, but it is actually very close to the Yellow River, and it used to be the territory of the Qiang people of Dangxiang. At the end of the first month, he came back from Hanjing, and it was not long after he returned to the territory, and Lao Cheng got a batch of ordnance from the imperial court ordnance supervisor one after another, and was stepping up the training of his cavalry and militia.

"The king of the county, there is a pigeon letter from Chang'an."

Cheng Yanjin took it.

The wax on the letter box was intact and opened, and inside was a series of numbers. There are a few small red dots in the corner of a small white piece of paper.

This is Li Chao's letter, and it is also the contact information they agreed on in case of emergency.

It's not simple.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly turned around and went back to the study.

He took out a biography of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties from the study, and translated the content against the digital code on the paper.

Faith is actually very simple.

"Your Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince, stop the new law, revoke the feudal, and withdraw the parliament! Li Chao and others raised troops in Lingnan to clear the monarch's side, protect the new law, and protect the parliament. This is the opportunity of life and death in the Tang Dynasty, the prince and a certain Wangjun King support, and the public should quickly raise the flag and raise troops to support it. ”

Protect the new law, Qingjun side!

Raise the flag!

Cheng Yanjin was silent for a while, read the letter several times again, and confirmed that there was no mistake.

He sighed and burned the letter in the brazier.

"Father!"

Before anyone arrived, the voice had already arrived. Cheng Chuliang, the second son of the Cheng family, who was dressed in armor, strode in from outside, "Dad, didn't you say that you went out of the city to train today, why did you hide in the study." ”

Three years ago, Cheng Chuliang was awarded the title of the founding prince of Dong'e County, and the eleventh daughter of the emperor, Princess Li Jing of Qinghe, was his wife. However, the princess was only ten years old at the time, and after the entry, the two did not have a round house. I was going to officially round the house last year, but the queen was gone.

Cheng Yanjin's face was calm, "Erlang, today's training out of the city has been canceled. ”

"Cancellation? Why? "Eighteen-year-old Cheng Chuliang, now is the time to be energetic, although there is a beautiful princess wife at home, but she is beautiful and can't eat, and she has to take care of Her Royal Highness the princess, and can't accept many concubines. So, Cheng Chuliang used his energy to train riding and shooting.

He also has a territory of his own, but he spends more time in Longyou. Because his territory is in northern Liaoning, the place is large, but most of the year is covered with ice and snow, and it is bitterly cold. In a territory of hundreds of miles, there are not many people in sight. The people next door to him are the Tata people and the Murowei people, one is a tribe that wears fish skins, and the other is a tribe that wears wild boar skins.

Staying with them, he was worried that he would become a savage after a long time.

It's still good to be on the right side of Long, his father's command has a strong territory, and it is not far from Chang'an, Hanzhong, and Hanjing, so it is comfortable.

"Erlang, come and sit."

"Dad, I'm still wearing plate armor." Cheng Chuliang was holding a helmet in his hand, and he was wearing a set of full-body plate armor. This kind of plate armor, also known as knight armor in Datang, especially the one on Cheng Chuliang, is made of the best materials, and at the same time it is not only strong and strong, but also very gorgeous.

Each piece of armor has carved patterns, gorgeous patterns, and can even be customized.

The color of the armor can also be customized.

Together with the lining of the finest calfskin, the individual rivet parts are also the strongest.

Such a set of armor is the entire belongings of a small landlord.

"Then you're standing." Cheng bit the gold and glanced at this son.

"Tell you something important."

Cheng Chuliang is also older, at the age of eighteen, if it weren't for the death of the queen, the princess would have been filial piety, and the child would have been born early.

"I just received a pigeon letter from Chang'an, and it was a letter from your teacher."

"Which teacher?" Cheng Chuliang asked, he has worshiped many famous teachers, both Wenzong and military generals.

"Of course it's King Zhao."

"Oh, didn't the Taishi go to the prince to believe in it? If he wants to summon his father to Xindu to help him fight, that's great, and I must go too. ”

"That's not it." Cheng Yanjin's expression was a little solemn, "Listen carefully, it's a big deal." ”

"Oh." Cheng Chuliang put away his smile.

Cheng Yanjin sighed.

It happened so suddenly, so suddenly that he didn't know how to choose. But things have already happened, and sooner or later they will have to face it. Escape is never the solution.

"Wen Yuan raised troops in Lingnan to rebel!"

"Ahh Chu Liang exclaimed.

"Ahh

"Dad, is this true? Impossible, right? ”

"Why?"

Cheng Yanjin got up, put his hands behind his back, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Why, he was also wondering, why did it come to this point?

"It's not because of the father and son of the Heavenly Family, Your Majesty said that the prince and Wen Yuan rebelled and wanted to call them back to Beijing. There was no way to turn things around, so they raised their troops. Now he has sent a letter to his father to raise troops in response. ”

Cheng Chuliang was speechless, "Dad, my daughter-in-law is a princess, the emperor's daughter." ”

"Li Chao's daughter is still the crown princess!" Cheng Biting Jin glared at his son.

This is the time to take sides. It involves the life and death of the entire family, and if you stand right, you will naturally benefit immensely in the future. But if you stand wrong, you will be doomed.

At this time, what if you are in-laws with the emperor, that is not the first element to consider.

The emperor is his father-in-law of Lao Cheng, Li Chao is also his relative, Li Chao's wife is his wife's cousin niece, and Li Chao calls him Uncle Shi again.

What's more, the relationship between Li Cheng's two families has been so good over the years, several of his sons are Li Chao's students, and the Cheng family has benefited from following the Li family.

But when it comes to such a thing as rebellion, it is not something that can be decided by one or two words of friendship or relatives.

"Prince, they will be defeated!" Cheng said.

"You know a fart, how can there be so many things that will be defeated and won."

"Could it be that the teacher can still win? How is this possible, the imperial court has an army of 800,000! ”

Cheng Yanjin considers the direction of things to be different from his son, he looks at things more deeply, rather than on the surface. Fighting a war is not a simple question of the number of troops.

Especially the rebellion of the crown prince, which is rare once in a century.

To put it simply, this is also the same as the Xuanwumen Rebellion and the Hanjing Rebellion later.

The Xuanwumen Change, the King of Qin made the prince and the emperor rebelled, launched the palace change, and there were few people who mobilized, but they won. Later, Emperor Taishang was restored, and once received the support of many people, and hastily raised hundreds of thousands of troops and occupied a large area, but in the end it also failed.

Therefore, there is no definite number for this kind of thing.

The crown prince raised troops, and the slogan was not the throne, but it was the side of the Qing monarch and the protection of the new law. Dharma protection is their slogan.

Who will support this slogan?

Logically speaking, all those who benefit from the new law should support it. But does the emperor really want to abolish the new law, abolish the partition and abolish the parliament?

Maybe the emperor will abolish the crown prince, maybe he will abolish the parliament, these emperors can do it.

But abolishing the new law and abolishing the separation, he believed that even if the emperor really had this intention, he would not dare to do so.

On the surface, the crown prince and Li Chao are very weak, and their strength is completely unequal to that of the emperor.

But with the banner of the prince, Li Chao still has a lot of appeal, especially his slogan, I believe there are still many people who are willing to believe and support it. After all, whether it is the prince or Li Chao, they are very prestigious.

In addition, with his understanding of Li Chao, since Li Chao dared to rebel, he must also have some reliance.

They are in Lingnan again, which is a very special position.

Block a few passes.

Lingnan, like Shuzhong, is a country of its own.

If the prince wants to divide Lingnan, he can really hold out for a long time.

"Dad, what are we going to do?"

"Wait, don't worry." Cheng Yanjin finally decided to wait and see, not the grass on the wall. But as long as he waits and sees now, it can be regarded as a support for Li Chao.

"Big brother, do you want to write it?" Chu Liang asked.

Cheng Chumo is still the protector of Zhennan and guards Yunnan. There are not many soldiers in his hands, but he has a great influence on Nanzhao and other countries. Especially Yunnan to the southeast, it is Li Chao's Zhao Guoling and Jiaozhou.

"I'll send a letter to your eldest brother later, so that he doesn't have to worry about expressing his position first."

"Dad, let's just do nothing?"

Cheng Yanjin snorted, "If you don't express your position, it doesn't mean that we won't do anything." Go and inform me, anyway, there is nothing to do during this time, let the cavalry of our castle strengthen training, and at the same time, let the knights of the territory of the manor below pull their respective militias to the castle to gather, let's do a spring and autumn assembly drill. ”

"Dad, I'm afraid it's not good to mobilize troops and horses at this time, right?"

"What's not so good, is it really like you say you don't do anything? If the emperor really revokes the feud by then, we won't have time to cry. It is still necessary to do something at the right time! ”

"Yes." Cheng Chuliang became a little excited, "Are all the territorial knights and all the militia gathered in the castle?" ”

"Yes, all of them. If you don't train, you can't do it, the Qiang people have been moving frequently recently, and it is very likely that they will come to loot, so we must be prepared. Cheng Yanjin said with a serious face.
